The Electactic Compact is a small ceramic fan heater with two power settings, 1500W and 750W, and an adjustable thermostat. It uses a PTC element that reaches full heat in about 2 seconds, and it has no exposed coils that glow red. Overheat and tip-over protection cut the power if it is knocked past 45 degrees. It suits a desk, dorm room, bathroom or small bedroom rather than a large living room, and its 200-square-foot claim is optimistic for a unit this size. Against oil-filled and radiant rivals it heats faster and stays cooler to the touch, but it cannot warm a whole room the way a larger convection heater can.

Buyers rate it well for fast warmth in small spaces and for its safety shutoffs. The main complaints are fan noise on high and the limited reach of the heat.
This compact ceramic space heater has a built-in fan and a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating element. It has two power settings, 1500W and 750W. The element has no exposed coils, and its surface does not glow red.
The heater reaches its heat output in 2 seconds and warms a space of up to 200 square feet. A thermostat shuts the heater off when the room reaches the preset temperature and turns it back on when the temperature drops. It runs at below 45 dB.
Overheat protection and tip-over protection are built in. If the heater is knocked over or tilted beyond 45 degrees, it cuts off power right away. Its small, portable body suits a home, dorm, office or kitchen.
